In a fairly unpredictable turn of events, The Castle Hall gets eliminated. I'm not going to call anyone on rigging the poll, because both Scorp and Parama voted for the song, but let me say I didn't expect this result at all, and I didn't even have that song in my prediction list. Wow. How many more surprises does this Survivor hold for us down the road? Let's find out in Round 5.

The deadline for this round is 48 hours.

It's one of the weakest songs? How is that surprising haha
Like, evil devolution at least has a cool instrumental section, but the first half blows
Castle hall doesn't even have that, there's just nothing I really like about it 
Tunnel of light I guess

Hey, well, don't take offense on this, but I'm pretty sure the general opinion about The Castle Hall is generally favourable, and it's considered a top half song from the album at least. I mean, it's pretty clear you and other voters don't like it, but it definitely came as a surprise for me.

Terrible Flight

The Castle Hall is my favorite song on the album, but it's simple and catchy so I knew it never had a chance to win. That's why I didn't put it in my predictions, same for Valley of the Queens.

For now I'll stick to The Two Gates.

My favorite Arjen song period is gonna get eliminated in the first half of the THE survivor so I can understand

Playground?

obviously

also between the cosmic fusion votes and the banishment going out early on tfe I have to come to the conclusion that ayreon fans have an allergic reaction to growls

I mean yes, the sections do genuinely suck on both songs but the rest of the song is good enough that who even cares lol

[Adami]

Amazing Flight.

[Kwyjibo]

Cosmic Fusion

[Scorpion]

Tunnel of Light. I like Cosmic Fusion.

[Tomislav95]

Cosmic Fusion

[Evermind]

Actually forgot to vote, I'm going with The Mirror Maze again. No way it's better than Cosmic Fusion.

[Tomislav95]

Tbh I have few clear favorites and I don't care in which order others are going to be eliminated also, want to keep Valley in the game as long as possible

[MirrorMask]

also, want to keep Valley in the game as long as possible

We will! 

[twosuitsluke]

[Crow]
